Ever seen a place in a book or movie and felt that you HAD to see it for yourself? Well, lucky for you - there are plenty that you can visit! Here are 7 of my favorite 'fictional' places that you can actually travel to:
1. Arandelle, Frozen
Nærøyfjord, Norway inspired the animation of Elsa’s kingdom, Arandelle, in Disney’s Frozen.
2. Hogwarts Great Hall, Harry Potter
The great hall of Christ Church in Oxford was the model for set designers of the Harry Potter franchise.
3. Mordor, The Lord of the Rings
Raw shots for the Lord of the Rings’ Mordor were filmed at Tongariro National Park in New Zealand.
4. King’s Landing, Game of Thrones
Scenes at King’s Landing in HBO’s Game of Thrones were originally filmed in Mdina, Malta. Shooting later relocated to Dubrovnik, Croatia, to allow for seaside shots.
5. The Hundred Acre Wood, Winnie the Pooh
Author A.A. Milne lived nearby East Sussex’s Ashdown Forest, and the woodland inspired the Hundred Acre Wood of his classic Winnie the Pooh stories.
6. West Egg, The Great Gatsby
Jay Gatsby’s luxurious home was located in West Egg on Long Island, and inspired by Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York.
7. President Snow’s House, The Hunger Games
The historic Swan House in Atlanta, Georgia played the role of President Snow’s house in Catching Fire.
